Where does the “Honk Honk / Chen Edits” meme come from?
The original work is a four-panel comic from the Japanese doujinshi *Charm*, created by artist bkub. It depicts Chen, a witch from the Touhou Project universe, stopping her bike in front of Suika Ibuki, lying drunk on the road. The strip was published on Pixiv on April 3, 2008. Its virality began on 4chan’s /jp/ board, with the first archived post dated April 17, 2008. A discussion on April 27, 2008, amplified the phenomenon, encouraging users to reply “Honk Honk” and modify the image. The term initially referred to the horn sound but became the generic name for all remixes derived from this specific scene, characterized by rearranged panels and changed dialogue.
